Grand Theft Auto V was a phenomenon. It smashed records, rated incredibly high and, alongside Grand Theft Auto Online, continues to spin in the drives of PS3 and Xbox 360 owners everywhere. Rockstar has decided to reward loyal players of the game who're coming back to Los Santos and Blaine County when the game releases on next-gen consoles in November (and PC next year).

The studio has decided to pack the hyper-updated game with extra items and events for returning players from last-gen machines.

Ever since we announced Grand Theft Auto V on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, some of you have been asking if there will be anything extra for those PS3 and Xbox 360 players who are planning on picking up the new versions. To reward loyal GTAV fans for coming back to the newer, more detailed version of Los Santos and Blaine County, we've created an array of exclusive items specifically for these players - with each of them connected to activities designed for you to experience the game's massive world in new and exciting ways.

The list of new content, on top of the re-release already featuring all currently released content, makes this update one of the meatiest options around this Holiday period.

Here's what you'll get:

• New Events & Rewards
  Encounter new events happening all across the world, and complete the challenges they present to unlock exclusive new vehicles like the menacing Imponte Duke O’Death and that veritable GTA classic bird of flight, the Dodo seaplane.
  
  The Imponte Duke O'Death: As you might expect, when you first stumble upon this near-indestructible mayhem machine, trouble will follow. Deal with it judiciously and this beauty’s all yours.
  
  
• Murder Mystery

  The futuristic new Rail Gun unloads powerful rounds of explosive ammunition upon foes.
